Weekend Getaway at South Palms Panglao

#resortstyle It’s the place where the sky kisses the sea. Definitely one of my favorite places when visiting Pangalo in the beautiful province of Bohol, the land of the brave people as what the Boholanos claim. You can kayak all you want, yes you read that right! It’s unlimited! You can also take a dip either on the pool or at the beach. It has access to the beach fronting the resprt. Wait for the magnificent sun to set for a romantic setting. The food is great at and the prices are so reasonable. You’ll definitely want to extend your stay for a few days or even a week. Holidays are better spent by the beach, do you agree with me?

Henan, Panglao Bohol

Panglao is an island in the Philippines located in the Central Visayas, with an area of 80.5 sq. kilometers. Politically, it is divided into two municipalities: Dauis and Panglao, part of Bohol Province. Panglao is located southwest of the island of Bohol and east of Cebu. Panglao Island is one the main tourist destinations on the Philippines. Talking about Panglao most of the people immediately think about "Alona Beach". Similar to Boracay, you can find an amazing white beach and crystal clear water. About 250 new species of crustaceans and 2500 new species of mollusks were found around the island. The discovery was the work of the Panglao Marine Biodiversity Project. The project found that Panglao alone has more marine biodiversity than Japan and the Mediterranean sea. #naturaloxygenbar#beautifulsunsets#bestislandtraveltowns#romanticrestaurant#seafoodfeast#naturalwonders#infinitypool#beaches

Balicasag Island, Bohol escaped

Balicasag island is located in Bohol, Philippines. You can book an island tour online or in person around Alona beach. You might want to be a little cautious with booking, it can be a little tricky. Anyways, I think it would be better to sort the details out like this: Cost: $50-$100 for island tour ( just the boat and crew) The price depends on the number of people in the group. Fees at the island: 400 PHP for gov. fees and guide + 1000 PHP, for GoPro rental and the guide will take the photos. Food: There are food stalls in the island but they're a little pricey, so better bring your own food. Island tour itinerary: 🐬 Dolphin watching 🏝️ Balicasag island: fish feeding and turtle watching ⛱️ Virgin island (10 php- environmental fee) Enjoy your Bohol escaped. It is no doubt one of the best places to visit to in the Philippines. 💙#beachlife #boholphilippines #boholadventure

Location: Panglao, Bohol. We reached the resort by driving from Tagbilaran port via car rental service. ambiance:5/5 price: 3/5 ( for budgetarians like me) Panglao, Bohol is almost synonymous to paradise. all over the internet we can see a lot of people, Filipinos and tourists alike flocking the island. And we cannot blame them! The place is indeed charming, not too crowded unlike Boracay and has a very vast shoreline. For this particular resort, the shoreline is I think about almost a kilometre long that it is definitely their idyllic asset. Basking under the afternoon sun,drinking cocktails and getting a sun bath or frolicking with their swing under the coconut tree are your best bet for this charming resort.

Life Advice: A must-visit island in your lifetime - Bohol Island

Life Advice: A must-visit island in your lifetime - Bohol Island

Compared to the crowded Sanya I found Bohol Island to be really relaxing . Recently spent a week there with friends Lying on the beach 🏖️ with a beer 🍺 and listening to a favorite song 🎵 Island hopping ~ snorkeling ~ diving 🤿 with a variety of water activities Can make you completely forget the troubles of work or life It's no exaggeration to say that this small island is a must-visit once in a lifetime❗️ . 【Bohol Island Guide】 . 💵 Currency The currency of Bohol Island is the Philippine Peso. You can exchange RMB for Pesos directly at Manila Airport, or use a VISA or MasterCard to withdraw cash from ATMs on Bohol Island. There is no fee for withdrawals up to 20,000 Pesos per day. . ✈️ Transportation ① Fly from domestic locations to Manila, then transfer at T3 to Panglao. A 10-minute taxi ride will get you there. This is the most convenient method, and it's recommended to allow more than 3 hours for the transfer. ② Fly directly from domestic locations to Cebu, then take a taxi from Cebu Airport to the pier, followed by a one-hour boat ride to Tagbilaran Pier, and then a one-hour taxi ride to Alona Beach. This method is more cumbersome. ③ There is no public transportation on Bohol Island. Travel mainly relies on tutu cars, motorcycles, or walking. Renting a motorcycle is the most convenient, but be sure to pay attention to safety and wear a helmet. . 💰 Tips Tipping is customary on Bohol Island. Whether it's performers or people taking photos for you on the island, tips are generally expected, usually around 20 Pesos. . 🏨 Accommodation Most hotels on Bohol Island are resort-style, with prices ranging from 300 to 2000 RMB. There are many hotels near Alona Beach, and it's just a few minutes' walk to the beach. It's relatively lively and convenient for eating, drinking, and playing. . ⛵️ Recommended Activities . 🚣‍♀️ Water Activities ✔️ Take a local 🦀 crab boat out to sea 📍 Dolphin watching area (chasing dolphins 🐬) 📍 Balicasag Island (underwater cliff terrain, suitable for snorkeling and diving ~ swim with 🐢 turtles) 📍 Pamilacan (top diving spot! Very pristine, like Balicasag 20 years ago, swim with 🦈 whale sharks) 📍 Virgin Island (primitive island scenery, only "appears" for 2 hours a day) 📍 Abatan River (✨ fireflies like stars in the sky) . 🗺️ Land Activities 📍 Chocolate Hills (Harry Potter cosplay filming location) 📍 Tarsier (Philippine national treasure 🐵 cute and adorable) 📍 Bee Farm (local handmade souvenirs and various 🐝 honey-made sauces) . 🍨 Food . Desserts: halo-halo ice cream mango shake Pure natural and unprocessed ~ great taste . 🍴 Restaurants: ✔️ Bohol Bee Farm ✔️ Pyramid Resort Restaurant ✔️ Isis Bungalows ✔️ Mr. Diver Dive Restaurant

Second Visit, Still the Best Beachfront in Panglao!

This is my second visit to this stunning resort, and I can confidently say it still holds the title of the best beachfront in Panglao! The crystal-clear waters, soft white sand, and the vibrant yet peaceful atmosphere make this place an absolute paradise. Whether you're staying for a few nights or just enjoying a day pass, the setting offers the perfect escape to unwind and relax. This time, I visited with my parents, and they were absolutely enchanted by the resort. It was so special to share such a beautiful spot with them, and they loved it just as much as I did. The resort truly offers something for everyone, making it a perfect destination for family getaways. We decided to go for a day pass, but we ended up spending most of our time indulging in their amazing food offerings. The food here is incredible—everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Whether you're craving local Filipino dishes or international cuisine, the resort delivers on every front. The food service is one of the key reasons I keep coming back, and it was a highlight of our visit. Exciting things are happening here! The property has recently undergone a rebranding, and I’m thrilled to share that the South Palm Resort is set to open a new section on the other side of the property. This area will be managed by Accor, which is sure to bring even more exceptional service and hospitality to this already outstanding resort. I’m so excited to return once the new wing opens later this year. It’ll be a great addition to the already stunning experience, and I’m hopeful they will also offer day passes for their beachfront—after all, it’s one of the best spots in Panglao! On top of that, I learned that another incredible brand, JW Marriott, is also set to open in Panglao in 2027! With all these exciting developments in the area, Panglao is truly becoming one of the most sought-after destinations in the Philippines. I can’t wait to see how the resort landscape continues to evolve, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit here. All in all, this resort remains an absolute gem. With its perfect beachfront, amazing food, and the exciting developments on the horizon, it’s a place I will continue to return to for many more trips. If you’re planning a visit to Panglao, this resort should definitely be on your list—it’s an unforgettable experience!#resorts #travel #beachlife #thingstodo #familytravel
